I Transmigrated as the Antagonists' Mother!-Chapter 113 - The Price Increase

113 The Price Increase

Jason was very cooperative, and he replied respectfully, “Boss, don’t worry. This kind of thing will never happen at our firm. Besides, you’re our VIP client. I’ll report the case to the law firm immediately so that my colleagues won’t pick it up by mistake.”

Vivian said calmly, “Then I’m relieved.”

Carol snorted coldly. “Who are you trying to scare? do you think you’re the best just because you put the word international? Who doesn’t know a few lawyers!”

Fuli international law firm is a 200-year-old Firm with the highest professionalism in the country. Its winning rate was as high as 99.9%, and many local judges were from this firm.

Carol was a full-time housewife and didn’t know much about this, but Edison and Diana, who were in the business world, had heard of the name of this firm.

Diana scolded her in a low voice, “Don’t talk if you don’t understand! No one thinks you’re mute.”

After being scolded by Diana, Carol immediately wanted to refute. She was her Sister-in-law! But when she saw the warning in her husband’s eyes, she didn’t dare to say anything.

Edison had also been shocked. Even if he had spent a huge sum of money to hire a lawyer of the same level, the other party could not guarantee a stable win.

If he lost, he would have to pay the compensation, lawyer’s fee, and even double. The total cost might be in the thousands, but fifteen thousand…

Diana knew her classmate was just an ordinary lawyer, and his standard was average. He could not be compared to a lawyer from such a formal law firm. “Brother, hurry up and pay the money. This matter is over!”

Edison was a little reluctant and was still calculating which method was more cost-effective. After a long while, he said with a fluke mind, “It’s fifteen thousand yuan now! If I can get a lawyer, even if I lose, the total sum of the court costs and compensation may not even exceed the amount.”

Vivian looked at the time impatiently. “My time is precious. If you waste another minute, I’ll add another one thousand yuan. I’m not afraid of a lawsuit. Hurry and decide whether to settle it privately.”

Diana quickly pulled Edison’s arm. “Listen to me! I’ll explain to you later!”

Vivian didn’t know what the two were talking about. She looked at her watch again and said, “A kind reminder, the price will rise in half a minute.” f𝚛𝗲𝒆we𝙗𝙣o𝙫e𝗹. 𝐜o𝚖

When Edison heard this, he could not help but feel nervous. He hesitated for more than ten seconds. His sister’s words of persuasion kept ringing in his ears. He gritted his teeth and decided to pay. “We’ll settle it privately!”

Edison went to the bank to withdraw fifteen thousand yuan in cash and angrily handed it to Vivian.

Vivian took it and passed it to Jason. “Count the amount, and then help me donate it to the child rescue association.”

The matter was considered to have come to an end. Vivian no longer paid any attention to these people. She brought Leon to the counter upstairs to take the photo frame and photo album that she had yet to take after paying and left.

Diana took the group of relatives to her office. Edison sat on the sofa with a sullen face and said, “You said before that I couldn’t afford to offend her. What’s going on?”

Edison’s face looked as if he would not let this matter rest until Diana gave an explanation.

Diana’s expression was not good either. She had been working properly today, and her brother was causing trouble here. It was simply embarrassing for her!

However, seeing that Edison also had the resources she needed, Diana endured it and asked patiently, “Did you see the clothes that Aileen’s classmate was wearing?”

Edison did not care and replied, “Of course, I saw it. It’s just a white shirt with casual shorts. It’s everywhere on the street. The only special thing about it is that there are dark patterns on the clothes. The style is not bad. But what was the use? It’s not even a famous brand. Only that pair of shoes is worth a bit of money.”

Edison was not stupid. He was just a small boss. Before looking for trouble, he had to figure out the other party’s economic strength.

Diana rolled her eyes. It was not that she looked down on her big brother, but he had been a rich man for ten years but only knew how to judge a person from the surface. No wonder he was still a small boss after so many years.

Diana complained in her heart but she continued to explain, “Do you know what material that pair of pants is made of? It was an Egyptian cotton Giza45, nicknamed ‘Cleopatra of Egypt’. As far as I know, there’s a luxury brand that specifically ordered this fabric. That brand doesn’t like to print logos on the surface of the fabric because they’ve always been flaunting their low-key luxury.”
